ooking for the perfect vodka to serve


at your next Ducks Unlimited
function? What could be more
appropriate than Black Lab Vodka!

This hand crafted blend was created for
Waterdog Spirits, LLC by Americas most
award winning small batch distilleryawards
such as the Gold Medal and 92 points from
the Beverage Tasting Institute in 2008 and
double Gold Medals at the San Francisco
World Spirits Competition in 2007.

If thats not reason enough, Waterdog
Spirits has been supporting qualifying chap-
ters with auction items and other donations.
A single bottle of BLV was auctioned off for
$500.00 at the New York dinner on Park
Avenue this February. We also have
donation programs available for chapters
who are not located where BLV is currently
available.

If you are interested in serving our
premium vodka distilled and bottled in
small littersat your next chapter function
or in our other fund raising programs,
just contact us.

2011 Sponsor Program DU is Flocking to Black Lab Vodka

Waterdog Spirits, LLC (Black Lab Vodka) and Zeppa Studios, LLC have paired up to
offer a special Fundraising Program for non-profit organizations, such as Ducks
Unlimited.

How it works

DU Chapters who purchase bottles of Black Lab Vodka from a local or on-line retailer to serve and/or
auction/raffle off at a fundraising event will receive from Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios a donation
package based on that purchase. (Items are pictured on the following page.)

1-2 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Glasses (Martini or DOF)
1 Glass Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser
1 BLV Cap (new!)

3-5 Bottle Package - Set of 6 Waterdog Glasses (will mix 2/4 on request)
1 Hand Painted Plate
1 Cutting Board or Tile Box or Soap Dispenser
2 BLV Caps

6 Bottle Package - Set of 4 Waterdog Martini Glasses
Set of 4 Waterdog DOF Glasses
1 Hand Painted Oval or Round Platter
2 from Cutting Board, Box, Soap selection
4 Caps

(NOTE: While we have structured the program to work on a per purchase basis, chapters reserve the right to utilize their purchase
and corresponding package as they see fit...for instance you may purchase 6 bottles, receive the 6 bottle package and split the
bottles and items between a couple events. Area managers who are centrally purchasing BLV for multiple chapter events must
specify how many bottles they have allocated to each event.)

If you confirm your participation a month in advance, you may request which items and designs to use,
otherwise, its our choice. Waterdog Spirits & Zeppa Studios also reserve the right to make product sub-
stitutions, if necessary.

We ask that the Chapter send back a brief fund raising report that will help us design future programs.
(and a few pictures if possible)

Local Ducks Unlimited Chapters in Virginia, Maryland, Rhode Island, Delaware, New York, Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, Idaho and Alaska have benefited from this Program with great success.

We held an awesome banquet on Sat-
urday, October 16th. With help from
generous donors, such as Waterdog
Spirits, we were able to increase
our net-net profits by 15% this year.
While other chapters around us
are folding due to difficulty in fundrais-
ing and canceling dinners due
to low ticket sales, our chapter contin-
ues to grow. We pride ourselves in
providing a TOP NOTCH banquet by
continuing to create innovative fund-
raising ideas and to utilize today's best
advertising methods. It seems that
Waterdog Spirits is doing the same.
Now our committee and 450 banquet
guests know about your product and
generosity.

Thank you again for providing us with
an exceptional product through your
genius marketing avenue. We look
forward to enjoying your product for
years to come.

We appreciate the generosity you have
shown to Ducks Unlimited. The design
on your Black Lab Vodka bottle is
magnificent in itself and the imagery is
part of what DU is all about. In addi-
tion, everyone attests to the fact that
Black Lab Vodka is an excellent
vodka. Thank you for what you are
doing for the ducks around the country.

I wanted to personally thank you and
your company for the generous
donation and the full support that Black
Lab Vodka has given DU in Maryland,

Truly a benefit to all involved. We look
forwarded to working closer with BLV
and our future events.
How are we doing?

DUCK BLIND WINES
A DUCKS UNLIMITED EVENT SHOW STOPPER

PROGRAM OUTLINE
(program as described is available for 40+ states/other options are being developed
for states outside the current program parameters)

Zeppa Studios, LLC (a DU supporter in affiliation with Black Lab Vodka) has designed and
developed the Duck Blind Wine Program for use by Ducks Unlimited Fundraisers. Not only are
our selections, a 2009 Pinot Grigio (awarded 98 point s, Best of California , a double gold and gold medal win-
ner) and Fusion Red (an except ional blend of Merlot 38%, Zinfandel 38%, Syrah 23%, Pet it e Sirah less t han 2%) in
their distinctive Duck Blind bottles the perfect wine to serve at DU functions, but they also make
great auction/silent auction/raffle items alone or in gift baskets. Who is not going to want to take
some home?

Zeppa Studios has arranged with a California winery for private label Duck Blind Wine to be
available to DU Chapter Events in almost every state. (contact us for limitations) For a single, all
inclusive fee (wine, applicable taxes, packaging and shipping to a business address) of $203.88 per 12 bottle
case (winery minimum shipment, mixed red & white ok, equals 16.99 per bottle), a
Chapters desired quantity will be delivered for that event(s).

In addition, Chapters requesting 2-3 cases are eligible to receive from
Zeppa Studios a hand painted terracotta wine cooler which (especially
when paired with a bottle) makes another great auction/raffle item. (additional
designs may be available-Lab in Marsh shown)

Chapters ordering 4-6 cases are eligible to receive a set of 6 hand
decorated Waterdog crystal wine glasses. These 17.3 oz. glasses can
serve either reds or whites. (Chapters ordering more than 6 cases for a single
event...contact us for options.)

All a Chapter has to do is place their order by phone, fax, email or
regular mail with us at least one month prior to their event . (To be safe/we wouldnt want
you not to get the wine in time!) All orders should include the Chapter contact info, a business ship to ad-
dress (adult signature is required), the name and date of the event, payment for the quantity ordered
(check payable to Zeppa Studios or we do accept major credit cards) and any special instructions. We can
provide order forms on request.

Chapters taking advantage of the Duck Blind Wine program are still welcome to participate in the
Black Lab Vodka program even for the same event.

The Duck Blind Wine label is provided for use by DU fundraising
and Duck Blind Wines are not available from any retail locations.
